Not sure if it has been posted before, but I saw this modified Grom paying homage to the 1960s Honda RC-series. Anyone seen any other retro kits out there? I really like the vintage, smooth look of the fairing.

I don't know that actual kits exist. I'm not even sure that image you're showing isn't simply photoshopped.

But I too would be very interested. Since I already basically have an offroader now, my upcoming Grom would be a street-oriented build and I've always wanted to have a classic-racer (read: cafe racer). I'd actually prefer to take it step further and have classier wheels (thinner).

 

[Scoot]

Oh it exists..

I think it would be awesome to turn a Grom into a classic racer but I'm curious as to what you mean by classier wheels. Are you just talking about thinner tires?

Sweet, thanks for the additional pics!

Yeah, I guess I just mean thinner wheels. This is more or less my favorite type of classic racing bike (50s era, full-on dustbin fairing):

But that's just my preference. I'd take the bike you're showing us, if it was reasonably priced as a Grom kit, over nothing. Would be cool to have a classic racer, only with EFI and disc-brakes, for sure. Further mods can always come later.

Now that is vintage

@AeroKen now that's vintage. Awesome pic, thanks for sharing.

Gotta love the diversity that can become of the Grom.

Cool pic, Aeroken. That shroud was probably all metal. I'd hate to crash that thing... ouch.

Yep. They were made out of Aluminum.

There are replicas being produced with fiberglass now. They are far from snap-on and would most likely require an extra-thin frame, or some improvisation to fit.

Then there are one-off enthusiasts/experts that occasionally make a new aluminum dustbin with jaw-dropping beauty like the one below (from Evan Wilcox; in this case, Motoguzzi V7 bike, with new fairing):

Edit: spelling

See that's what I'm looking for. I love the retro fairing on the Grom, thanks for that link AeroKen. Anyone know anywhere else I can look for custom mods like that? I'm more interested in the fairing than anything else.
This sort of thing makes me think an all-Grom bike show could be pretty sweet...

nothing beats a vintage look with modern handling

 

[r0ckrat]

This one looks pretty sweet, too.

I did a google search for "dustbin fairing" and got a lot of really nice image results.

 

[Scoot]

So there's a market for custom Grom dustbin fairings I see lol..

modern reliability is pretty nice too

New to this Grom, how many styles / kit do they have for these Groms?

Tricky question. I recommend sifting through the forum in the Appearance & Mods section: Grom Appearance & Modifications - Honda Grom Forum
Otherwise, share whatever you find and keep checking back!

 

[gentlypfister]

Anyone done an off road one? Like a Scrambler?

 

[jessekreib]

agree!

 

[Motopapi]

Retro!

These are perhaps my favorite types of mods

 

[Dirt Road]

I did it to my FZ1 and would love to do it to a Grom.
